My favourite book is STILL Captain Correlli's Mandolin. Despite the odd beginning, despite the unsatisfactory ending, despite the dreadful film. Beautiful love story which is funny and sad with complex characters and an amazing setting. More than anything it is about the dreadful effects of war.

My favourite book is Great Expectations by Dickens, it is really a great story and one I can read over and over again. Like most books made into films, the film is ok, but not a patch on the book, brilliant.

My favourite book...too many great books to chose from!
If I have to pick only one, I am going to go with the one book I can re-read and enjoy every time - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. A 200 year old story that's still fresh and witty, what's not to love about that?

I love On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwen. To me it is a beautifully and detailed snap shot into a few moments. I'm not usually a great McEwen fan but I love it.
